"He finds her hilarious, she finds him hilarious, for different reasons. So I felt it wasn't impossible for people who come from two different demographics of society, two starts, to actually find love. It's like we put ourshelves in boxes. Like when we're finding a relationship, we put ourshelves in places where we're comfortable. But tomorrow, you can fall in love with someone anywhere."
